We bring together professional staff, dedicated volunteers, people with lived experience and road safety sector partners, united by a commitment to improving the safety and wellbeing of all road users.
Our work supports people through the impact of road trauma while also helping to prevent it. Fundraising and partnerships are critical to helping us continue and grow that impact.

Reporting to the CEO, this is a hands-on role leading our campaigns, fundraising, donor engagement and corporate partnerships.

Key responsibilities include:
- Leading the planning and delivery of Shine a Light on Road Safety and other fundraising campaigns
- Developing new fundraising opportunities and community fundraising initiatives
- Building and strengthening relationships with donors and corporate partners
- Identifying and approaching prospective partners and funding opportunities
- Developing donor engagement strategies to support acquisition, retention and growth
- Monitoring campaign and fundraising performance and identifying opportunities for growth
About you
You are an experienced fundraising or partnerships professional who enjoys both developing opportunities and making them happen.
You are a confident relationship builder who can work independently, think strategically and manage multiple priorities, while remaining comfortable with the hands-on delivery of campaigns, fundraising initiatives and events.
You will bring experience in fundraising or donor/partner relationship management and event delivery, along with strong communication, relationship management and organisational skills.
Experience in the not-for-profit, charitable or health sector will be highly regarded.
Most importantly, you will be motivated by the opportunity to use your skills to grow the reach and impact of an organisation making a meaningful difference for people and communities affected by road trauma.
